Thank you for the info. I am guessing you did try it and it did not work with your wa7d. I read your post. You do prefer the optical cable or just the usb?

No the RCA inputs on the WA7d are just that another input you would have to get the WA7 to use that option. The WA7d offers an optical input that's the difference in the 2..
If I buy the wa7d, can I use this rca input and use it as a standalone amp?
I have tried it if you mean connecting an external dac to my WA7d through the RCA inputs. It works fine but for me the sound signature changed so much I really didn't care for it. But it could also be the older Nuforce dac-80 I have. The thought of connecting two dac's together is a little weird not sure if one should even do that, maybe someone with more experience could lets us know.
Bottom line is if you plan to someday use an external dac then go with the WA7 + WA7tp that's just my opinion..
I just recieved pair of Russian reissue Mullards 12AU7 ECC82

Its being heard that NewSensor bought all the equipment along with brand name from UK's Mullard and started reissue.
Rumors are rumors, but i found them extremely drunk on highs and it didn't made hd800 as pleasant as stock Woo tubes (i have no idea what they are, my unit is pretty new and this 12AU7 marked as "Woo tested".
Question is... should i give them another 10 hours and see if they develop better sound or should i just avoid them altogether ?
Just curious if anyone here has tried any of the vintage Cifte 12AU7's , I will agree with groovyd the Mullards are soo nice hard to get away from to try anything else..
I don't have them anymore, but my recollection is that they were somewhat thin and bright, maybe a little harsh on the top end? Again, that's from memory though. I much prefer the Mullard CV4003.
